Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

[Adran_Marit]

hey guys just got to know about the picofly chip. Is there any good installation videos or guides I can read through?

it uses the same points as the hwfly chips including flex cables.

Not for the faint of heart

anyone having issues with Erista patched not coming outta sleep mode?

I think this is a known issue and gettign worked on

Odd I haven't had any issues with sleep and even updating OFW and everything still working after update.
2.5fw and tried V1 patched, v2, Lite and oled. I wonder if it only affects the 2.5+unlock single file flavor. I'm using the 2 step/file flavor.

All with 47 ohm + Flex cable.

Nintendo encrypt all the software on the NAND chip using a set of Keys, some are the same for all consoles others are unique to each console, that are the most important ones.

Dump is a process where you use Homebrew mainly as a payload to copy that keys to a file on your SD card or to your screen.

Thank you so much for the information. Much appreciated

Curious would be interesting to document

Or if they used the payload

That's how they did with all the other installers.
Buy their service, looking like an innocent person. Get the address. In comes a A4 letter in a envelope.

They can’t do anything if the installer isn’t providing software though right?

TPM violations are what they hit you with, well what they hit me with after sending in a private investigator

If you wanna argue about it in court. Be my guest and good luck to you.

glad i dodged that

I sadly know someone that they weren't as kind on. They went the full mile. But it wasn't in the EU/UK.

Will the payload ever be open sourced?

Perform a full system reset, that fixes sleep. (from the Full Stock mode)
OFW boot (if broken) can be fixed by WiFi OFW update (like 16.0.0 -> 16.0.1) over wifi

Crap, yeah i remember reading this now.. thanks for fix..

I never tried this before but I've just have to ask.
If you use Daybreak to REINSTALL the firmware. Would that fix the issue as well?

Anyone know if this would work?

Good morning everyone, I'm new to this part and I have a switch lite and I wanted to test it but I have a doubt. Do I need to use the irs 8342 if I have the post fix? If you only use one, which one is the best? I saw some videos and one of them does not put the IRS 8342 And does not use the post fix

u have to use a mosfet , the mosfet (maybe 2) or the v2 flexcable from hwfly they have 2 of the mosfet on the flex cable

If by "post fix" you mean a Flex cable (V2 model or a dedicated Lite version in your case) then you are OK, you don't need mosfets because there are already 2 of them in the said Flex cable.

Almost none of the needed pins are broken out on that board, so.. no.

I can only enter OFW by going to hekate OFW reboot option

now if you go through the launch of the HOS error

I ended up updating 16.0.1 over 16.0.1 and it fixed sleep and broken OFW.. I was able to not have to wipe system... Bonus.... lol...

Safe - I use exosphere with dual boot on sys and emummc. Easisest way to setup the blocker/serial is by changing a 0 to a 1. If your sysnand is dirty then it might not be safe.
